The relationship of friendship  is often malleable, free, and unconstrained compared to familial or marriage relationships, but is this how it is supposed to be?  We had a conversation with Dr. Wesley Hill who wrote a book on this topic called "Spiritual Friendship: Finding Love in the Church as a Celibate Gay Christian."    Through Dr. Hill's insight we are reminded that scripture and tradition have a higher view of friendship than we may have thought.  We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Oppression, pain, slavery, and trauma are all a part of Israel’s story.  In the midst of this pain God responds.  We sat down with Dr. Isabelle Hamley and discussed how we can learn from Israel’s story and the Old Testament scriptures in regards to mental health.  She answered questions around what the “good life” is, how the biblical text speaks to pain, and how to cultivate a holistic response to pain and trauma.   We hope you enjoy our conversation.
